You are absolutely right.
Korean Airlines full service airline don't get that kind of package leave alone a low cost outfit.

Good luck and happy landings guys!

Dekka007

Two figures posted

1. 130000-140000USD Tax free
2. 10980USD take home tax free

Which one is 100% correct. You seem to be very sure but there's soo much difference in the numbers

If its accurate then why is the package and details not posted in the AHK website. Can some in the real know how share?

Happy and safe landings!

I haven't seen any published t&c but didn't they pay captains $5000 just a few years back?

MAYBE...and that is only a maybe, a good month could see a cn take around 10000 home but there is no way it comes close to 14 and you can bet the right seat doesn't pay 10.

Better call your friend and tell him to stop blowing smoke up your rear.

I am employed by this company for 18 months already. Here are the average salaries per month for FO and CAPT in 2010.

FO: 7500 to 8000USD per month
CAPT:10500 to 11500USD per month.

You get gratuity pay after Year 4 of 15,000USD for FO and 20,000USD for CAPT every year.

That is the deal. The lifestyle is good 8 days on 6 days off.

Penang Base is tax free.

Singapore base can be Tax free if you are singapore based and less than 60 days in the country. Live in indonesia or other asian country and commute.

HK Base is not tax free.

There is no housing allowance. There is basic provident fund from the company, basic medical cover, basic disability coverage.

Thats it.

AirbusInHK,

What kind of per diem money are you guys making?

How much can a B744 captain expect to take home per month?

Any improvement on travel benefits and loss of license insurance?

Thanks!!!

Bond

Hi airbusinHK


Any mention of a bond for the 747

I heard the bond for the A300 is ridiculous.
Will 747 guys be paid more than the airbus guys


Are they still interviewing?

Cheers

Cathay just announced a 4% increase in salary to match inflation plus a 13 month salary bonus.
What's the view on the above statement ! True or otherwise

So what's AHK's stand and package for the B744 BCF operation?

Any insight?

Happy landings!

AirbusinHK,

Does the company provide a 13th month pay check and allow for commuting to work?

Kind Regards,

Any help with these following questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1) Can you commute to the US with the contract?
2) Instead of 8 on, 6 off, can you do 16 on, 12 off?
3) How long is training if you have previous heavy jet experience?


Thank you very much for any input provided.

I just saw on PPJN that Air Hong Kong introduced senior payscale after 3 years or if on the B744. Anyone caring to explain how it works?

Many thanks
Happy landings

Hi, roster is 8/6 ,I think there is a trial roster for airbus 12/9.
no 13th month salary , I think thats an HK expat perk.
ahK employ on SG base or HK base with associated taxation rules, seek personal taxaton advise (my disclaimer).
Leave is 28 (plus 8 company allocated days)
Training (CAD exams, company stuff, plus a full type rateing(even if your typed (airbus) is about 3 months to get to line flying, std for just about everybody typed or not.
Commuting is doable, commuting longrange eg US ,Europe is possible but riskier , my opinion.
Just had a look at PPJN, the pay for 747 is the same after yr 3 on the airbus .
